Title: Lost in the Forbidden Forest
The dark night led Princess Kim, heir to the Kingdom of Light, deep into a forbidden forest. Riding alone, she had gotten lost after chasing a rare white deer. A thick fog obscured her vision, and the atmosphere of the forest grew more suffocating. As she tried to find her way back, footsteps echoed from behind the trees.
From the shadows emerged a young man with a pale face, looking graceful yet mysterious. He walked soundlessly, approaching Kim with a friendly smile.
Sunoo:
(softly)
“You seem lost, Princess. What are you looking for in this forest?”
Kim:
(a bit startled, but trying to stay calm)
“I was just chasing a deer... and lost my way. Who are you? Do you know the way out?”
Sunoo:
(chuckling, his gaze full of mystery)
“I’m Sunoo. I often stroll around here. Perhaps I can help you find your way out.”
Kim nodded, feeling uneasy about the situation, but she had no other choice. Sunoo appeared kind and unthreatening, though something about him made her feel cautious. As they walked together, Kim noticed how gracefully Sunoo moved, almost as if he were floating.
Kim:
(curious)
“You don’t seem like an ordinary person. Why do you live in this forest? Isn’t it dangerous?”
Sunoo:
(smiling faintly)
“This forest isn’t dangerous if you know it well. Many are too afraid to enter because of strange myths. But those are just stories.”
They continued walking until they arrived at a narrow path that seemed to lead out of the forest. Kim started to feel relieved.
Kim:
“Thank you, Sunoo. I owe you.”
But as Kim was about to step away, a sudden cold breeze swept through, and the entire atmosphere shifted. Sunoo's once friendly gaze turned sharp. Kim froze, sensing something was wrong.
Sunoo:
(in a colder tone)
“Did you really think I would just let you walk away?”
Kim's heart pounded. Sunoo smiled, but now it was more sinister.
